Maybe they should go back and investigate Spruance, Nimitz, Arleigh Burke, etc.

Maybe they should disarm the Pacific fleet, just in case.

Our system is breaking down and is failing. If the Navy charges and convicts this guy it demonstrates the demise of this country and it’s military.

By the same standards, though, Hillary should be in Leavenworth for her crimes against the People of the United States

If Ronald Reagan were president, Lt. Cmdr. White would have already received a medal, presented to him by the president in the Oval Office. A promotion to full commander would soon follow.

As it is, White will not be charged. The public uproar would be too great. But he certainly will receive no medal, and his career is effectively over.

The message: come and kill our defenseless military personnel...and if one should be bold enough to fight back, we’ll prosecute the rebellious bastard.

Upside-down world is Obama’s dream, and he’s got brainless stooges running his plan all over the place.

As a veteran it pains me to say that if I had a service age son I would discourage him from joining under this pathetic regime.

The insanity that afflicts our country continues its deep, deep downward spiral.

It’s time for a good old fashioned naval mutiny.

Does anyone know what location this was? Was he at the strip mall armed service career center or the Navy Reserve Center.

I watched Greta yesterday on her special and details of the shooting were as vague as the first day. This is what I found out at Wiki:

The shootings began shortly after 10:30 a.m. at the Armed Forces Career Center in a strip mall located on Lee Highway. The Center recruited personnel for branches of the United States military, including the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and the Tennessee National Guard. There, Abdulazeez fired 25 to 30 shots[5] into the office from inside a silver rental Ford Mustang convertible,[6] wounding a U.S. Marine. He then escaped and led members of the Chattanooga Police Department on a pursuit.[7]

Abdulazeez drove seven miles (11 km) to a U.S. Navy Reserve center on Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga,[8][9] where he rammed his vehicle through a security gate.[7] He drove to one of the center’s buildings and first fired at it, then charged inside and continued firing, fatally wounding a U.S. Navy sailor. Abdulazeez then exited the building through the back and entered a fenced motor pool area, where he shot more people. Three to five minutes after the second shooting began,[10] he reentered the building, where he fired upon responding police officers and was fatally shot by them.

Let them go to courts martial. It is a violation of DoD policy NOT to arm those who are targets. ALL uniforms in these United States are targets and their Commanding Officers are derelict in their duties by not arming those in thier commands. This will not bode well for the chain of command at that installation.

You mean basically a repeat of the Billy Mitchell court martial.

I hate petitions, but I signed this. Get it done, force Obozo to give them medals and recognition.

And lets see if they try to charge the sailor.

There is still a long way to go in reviewing the facts of this tragic incident

Really?
Do you all have some mental difficulty that prevents you from grasping the situation?
An Islamic terrorist (people we are at war with) attack a Military establishment killing several military members, this military member fired back with a personal weapons because the military is to ignorant to arm its own troops against attack. How long does it take you to read that and understand what happened?

In a sane world, we would be discussing his potential medal, not his potential charges.
